A BII2170 Series T/R switch module is an integrated solution for a wide range of acoustic applications based on Emitting and Listening Timing Techniques. The device
works at active mode (Transmitting Sounds) and passive mode (Listening Sounds) with a transducer which can radiate and receive sounds. A BII2170 device integrates
an impedance matching network, a T/R switch, a bandpass filter, and a low noise DPGA preamplifier (Digitally Programmable Gain Amplifier) or a Fixed Gain Amplifier
(FGA) into one compact housing. Gain-selection is accomplished by a two-bit or one-bit digital word (TTL/CMOS level compatible). The built-in impedance matching
network is customized to match impedance between the power amplifier and the transducer at operating frequency, generally at resonance frequency fs.
Tips: Separation of transmitting element and receiving element below 1MHz can improve receiving performances such as lower noise level, optimum directivity, and
higher sensitivity etc. BII manufactures

    Dependent on the near-field distance, bandwidth, and operating frequency of a transducer. Transducers which can radiate and receive sounds. For general-purpose applications, all kinds of piezoelectric transducers work with BII2170 series T/R Switch. Transducers: Untuned transducers are recommended for better receiving performance such as lower threshold or larger dynamic range.
